[MPICH] MPICH2 and Pascal

[Luiz Carlos da Costa Junior]

Lykle and Lourival,

Let me introduce myself and participate in this discussion (actually add
another question). My name is Luiz and I have a problem like Lourival. I
would like to use MPICH2 with my fortran program (developed for Windows and
compiled with OpenWatcom 1.3) but I had problems during the linking process.

I have a little experience in using C libraries in my fortran programs and I
use to recompile the libraries header (generating *.lib file that I can use
in OW1.3 linking process) but in case of MPI I didn't have success because
of functions name (my liker doesn't not recognize MPI functions). Maybe
because of naming convention, prefix/sufix additions. How is the best way to
deal with it?

Another problem I had is due to the type "long long", used in MPICH2.
Unfortunately, OpenWatcom 1.3 doesn't seen to support it (I can be wrong),
do you known how to deal with this problem?

Thanks in advance!
Luiz
